How did you make the tie dye?
Hi Amanda! So the tie dye is the “kite material” listed in the supplies list. It’s whatever material you want to use…paper, table cloth, gift wrap…whatever! I used a tie dye-colored paper because I’m a sucker for tie dye! You could even use tie dye fabric if you have some already made 🙂
